Hey Y'all Let's Build a Universe

After years of writing fiction and non-fiction for magazines like Appleseeds, Alienskin, Tales of the Talisman; self publishing books like, Flash Master, Summer of the Masters or Seasons of Fire; and contributing to roleplaying games like, Chosen, Joel decided he wanted it all; a galaxy spanning story, told as conventional fiction, a web based video, and a kick ass role-playing game.

Fortunatly, Joel's long time partner in the writing business, John Berg (insert John's Bio Stuff) had been thinking along the same lines, and so, The Dryden Experiment was born over a kitchen table littered with scrap paper, laptops and Mountain Dew Cans.

Our goal is to build an open sourced (meaning many writers) Universe supporting multiple single and long arc stories. We want to do it online, as print, with a role-playing game, and eventually, as an online television show.

We even have a couple of kinky wrinkles we want to try;

1. We want fan fiction and fan art to be a part of the project from the start. Because of rule #2, it's all got to be for the love for now but check back soon to learn how to add your story or art to this universe.

2. All of the core components; text, video, and the core gaming rules have got to be available free of charge. The only revenue streams we're allowing ourselves are in-line ads, donations, and (maybe later) secondary products like tee-shirts or bound versions of the text.

The blog that you're on now is the main story arc; The Story of Seli Dryden and the crew of the IDF Moth. Soon this blog with also contain pages covering Seli's Universe, there will also soon be links to a "real world" blog where you can check in and see how the Dryden Experiment is progressing in our world, and also blogs of fan fiction and art.
